pain.
At midnight they swept by a "shack"
where e man, unknown to the occupant,
but an hour before had begged for
food. They learned that this stranger
was armed
Further on they found a bewildered
farmer cursing the loss of his gray
mare, that some one had impressed into
his service.
Just before sunrise. when all the
east was gray and the mantle Of the
night hung in dark folds IN the west,
they passed the gray mare, dead on the
/ trail, and by this they knew that their
man could not be far away
Now that he was near they grew
cautious. Pistols and guns were ex-
amined, saddle-girths frightened, and a
loose rein given to the tired horses.
| There was no need of haste noW-One
man against twenty could not hold out
long.
just as the sun, warm from his royal
couch, sent up a band of gold to burn.
ish the sky, a frOntiersman came gallOp-
ing back to the party, with the an
nouncement that ScOtty was asleep in
a granary but a mile beyond. Worn
out and not knowing that he was Pur-
sued he had stolen into the building
and throwing himself in a corner, fallen
to sleep. There the scout. stealthily
searching for trace Of him, had sighted
him, but fearing a single handed con
fict had ridden back for help.
Scotty had killed too many men to
make him asleep a less dangerous foe
than he was when he was awake. He
had been known to shoot dead deputy
sheriff who, thinking him asleep, had
bent over him to put the shackles on.
The verdict of the frontier Jury was
that the deputy was a fool for not kill
ing Scottv first and then Stacking him,
but that is all a matter of opinion.
When the word came back that
Scotty was discovered, Carruth turning
to the posse, said:
"You stay here. 1 viii arrest him.
Not demurring, the men dismOunted,
while he rode of to the granary.
Within shooting distance he picketed
his horse, and without taking out his
weapons, walked up to the granary,
entered, and touched the sleeping man
The Instant he touched Scotty, the
latter, as if by intuition, with quick
! Jerk threw back his hand, and the
Sheriff found himself covered with the
mussle of a revolver.
Then said ScOtty, as coOlly as if he
had known all the time of the pursuit.
"Git!"
Carruth did not move. His face was
very stern and sad as he replied.
"Shoot ahead, ScOtty. but if you miss
You are my prisoner. I've come to take
Won back.
You can't do i, Sheriff You made
your word with me that L should gel
away and I'm going. Go back or I'll
I shoot"
Carruth shook his head There was
40 going back for him now. Over there
| in the glory of the morning his towns
men were waiting his return. He mus
take Seotty back dead or alive, or die
! himself
With n bound and blow he knocked
Scotty's weapon up, grasped his CUR
and fired.

Probably the most valuable Of the new
statistical work undertaken of late by Labor
Commissioner BettOn and his assistant,
John @. Cougher, is the compilation Of fig
ures showing the amount expended in each
county in the state for the support OF pau
pers. The first move was to prepare and
send ont TO the clerk Of each county circu-
lar calling for the desired information. The
principal questions prOpOunded were as to
the total amount paid by the county for
maintenance of paupers during 1886;
amount paid for maintenance OF poor farm
and the amount paid for the relief Of pau
pers outside Of the poor house. In addition
to these there were q number of subordinate
queries as to salaries of poor farm superln-
tendents amount of labor on farm, e1pend-
1tures IN detail for seed, TOOLS Stock, cloth
ing, food, fuel, etc, the minimum
number Of paupers IN poor mouse
during the year. outside reL1eL 10
families, etc. From the mass OF figures re-
celved in response 10 the circular siIty-nlne
counties IN all having made reply we nave
compiled for general information on tins
important subject the following IGDulaJeu
statement showing the amount expended for
support of poor farm, amount Tor OUTSIDE
relief, total amount expended for the care
of paupers and the reported or estimated
minimum number OF paupers. on the poor
farm or regularly upon the bounty OF the
people of the county named. In those cOun-
ties where 1t was necessary to make an estl-
mate Of the minimum number during the
year, no report upon that query having been
made by the county clerk, the cOu- ty re-
porting the largest number of paupers to the
1000 population was taken as a basis, and 10
showed about ! 1-6 10 the 1000. Therefore,
as a fair estimate the average was made one
to the 900 population, which is probably as
accurate a showing as could be reached.
Following is the statement:
